A voyage to the interior…
“Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.” ~ Christina Baldwin
This month I had a lot of fun doing a journal swap over at Create-a-Connection. I only recently found the blog and, even though they do a swap each month, this was my first time to participate. It was fun and I can’t wait to do another one soon.
The swap was simple. We were each given someone to send a journal to and, in exchange, would receive a journal from someone. This was not a secret swap so along the way we got to email and get to know the people with whom we were swapping. It was fun!
I received from Anita. Knowing that my favorite color is red, she sent me a beautiful Readables journal in the perfect shade of deep red. It has an elasticized band to hold everything in and the most sumptuous, smooth and easy-to-write on lined-pages. As you can see, it really is the perfect vessel for any voyage I decide to take to my interior. Thanks, Anita, and thanks Create-a-Connection, for hosting such a fun activity!
I sent to Melba who is a sweetheart and who has a very cool blog. Check it out! Also, journal receipt show-and-tell will be posted here, in case anyone is curious.
It was fun! I think I speak for everyone over at Create-a-Connection in saying, join in next time!
oh, how wonderful, I recently did the traveling etsy journal, it was wonderful!!

Stiletto – Like a round robin journal? I’m doing that with a friend, just a one-on-one journal and it is SO fun! I love it! Those are the best!

I love swaps, it is so fun to get stuff in the mail. Especially after a bad day at work…
Sounds like you had a great time.

Denise – Swaps are fun, aren’t they? Mail is fun in any capacity, I think, as long as it isn’t bills or junk.
